Default Stupid em1 suspensions

I used to have a 92 integra, i lowered it 4' all around, tires were tucked in no room for a even a finger on 14 or 15 in. wheels. I never bottomed out my rear shocks, no matter how deep i go. (stock shocks)

On my em1, lower the back a tad, got waaay negative camber got some washers fixed that, but created a gap between the quarter panel and the tire. Basically raised the car up. So i lowered it some more, and still have a finger gap in the back, and i bottom out like crazy on bumps. i thought maybe the bump stops were the issue removed them and same behavior.

does anyone why.

ps. Don't tell me its because my stock shocks. i know thats not the cause.

What kind of springs do you have? Maybe the spring rate is too low.

My rear isn't that low, cause it didn't lower it too much for some reason ... but it's def lower then stock, and camber is fine. There is a half finger gap up front, and camber is still fine. Dunno what's goin on with yours though. GL
